Say Cheese!

Photobooths are all the rage and these days you can find them everywhere from weddings and class reunions to formal and casual events...even backyard birthday parties. They come in all shapes, sizes, and price ranges. Working on a budget we decided to have a DIY photobooth. I was lucky enough to have an old white shower curtain we were not using. I started by taking a wooden dowel and weaved it through the grommets. I then tied string to the ends of the dowel rod and hung the "backdrop" on the side of our carport using finishing nails. I cut out stars from a cardboard box, gave them a coat of spray paint and glitter, and our photobooth was born. Mr. T set up a tripod with an old digital camera zoomed in perfectly so the girls could take their own pictures. Beside the photobooth we set up a container with dress up items and other accessories to make the picture taking a little more fun...

It was a HIT! Give a group of 8 year old girls a camera and some props and they will keep you laughing all night!
